Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I would like to inquire or ask a medical advice on taking Diane-35 pills. Is it fine for me as a man to take these hormone pills?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Diane-35 (Cyproterone and ethinyl estradiol) is an anti-acne pill and an oral contraceptive rolled into one and is for women who have excessive facial hair and acne. If a man were to take it, it might make him lose his masculine characteristics, such as facial hair, and might lead to lower sperm count. I would suggest against it.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
